Sugar and Ethanol Industry
Vietnam is one of the major sugar producers and consumers in the world and in the ASEAN bloc. In recent years, the Vietnamese sugar industry has faced many difficulties. However, according to experts, the opportunity to develop the domestic sugar industry is still wide open as market demand is increasing, especially the demand for ethanol – a product after sugar. To take advantage of opportunities and increase long-term competitiveness, in addition to efforts to improve product quality, Nam Phat NPE Group has proposed the most suitable solutions to help operate and increase the efficiency of the factory.
1. Overview of the sugar industry
The world sugar industry was developed very early in Europe, Asia and America. Currently, the world sugar industry is in a saturated phase. In the general context of the world sugar industry, the Vietnamese sugar industry is gradually entering a saturated phase. On average, Vietnam produces 1-1.3 million tons of sugar each year; direct consumption demand is about 2 million tons/year. The Vietnamese sugar industry is currently facing competitive pressure from the ATIGA trade agreement as well as pressure from cheap smuggled sugar from Thailand. Objectively, the Vietnamese sugar industry is still not competitive enough, both in terms of scale and product quality compared to many countries in the world. Although the Vietnamese sugar industry is facing many difficulties in the immediate future, the opportunity to develop domestic sugar is always open when the world sugar industry is forecast to decline while market demand is increasing. The development opportunity of the sugar industry also lies in post-sugar products, typically ethanol. In order to maintain its position in this context, Vietnamese sugar enterprises must solve the problem of improving quality while reducing production costs. In addition to sugar, it is necessary to focus on developing post-sugar products, especially ethanol. Efforts to change the production mindset at sugar factories are expected to bring a brighter future for the sugar industry in the coming years. And this is the reason why Nam Phat is present in the Vietnamese market to provide effective solutions for each country in the sugar industry process from the globally famous WEG brand.
